Community

Cricket for everyone

Inclusive cricket that creates opportunities and breaks down barriers across Stoke-on-Trent.

Community and additional needs

A place where everyone belongs

RUNS was built to be more than a cricket centre. We want everyone in our community to have the chance to play, learn and enjoy the game, regardless of age, background, ability or experience.

Our community sessions are relaxed, welcoming and adapted to each person, with coaches who focus on fun and confidence first.

  • Additional needs and disability cricket
  • Sessions for complete beginners
  • Women and girls cricket
  • Groups for older adults
Sessions

There is no single way to enjoy cricket. These sessions are designed to make the first step easy.

Additional needs

Adapted sessions with smaller groups, softer balls and coaches experienced in inclusive sport.

Beginners

Never picked up a bat? Learn the basics in a friendly, no-pressure environment.

Women and girls

Sessions that give women and girls a welcoming space to learn, play and progress.

Families

Book a lane together and enjoy a fun, active session with the whole family.

Community groups

Charities, youth groups and community organisations are welcome to get in touch.

Corporate and social

Team-building sessions that everyone can enjoy, cricketer or not.

Café and viewing area

Stay, watch and be part of it

Our café and viewing area gives parents, carers, friends and team-mates a comfortable place to relax, watch and grab a coffee. It is a space to meet people and be part of the RUNS community.
